Britain's Matthew Walls won gold in the men's elimination race on the track at the European Championships in Glasgow.
Walls, 20, beat Portugal's Rui Oliveira in the final sprint to win Britain's fourth gold medal in track cycling.
"I was strong enough to lead from the front and that is what I did," Walls, who is making his senior major championship debut, told BBC Sport.
Laura Kenny and Katie Archibald, who have won five medals between them, were fourth in the women's madison.
Scot Archibald has won three medals at the event, while Kenny has two golds.
Olympic and Commonwealth bronze medallist Katy Marchant finished fourth in the keirin.
